To throw a curve into things, coming from the same background I found  
Ziatypes very easy and very attractive.  My first print was a  
ChartThrob test chart, this one was the second:

I've made all of a dozen prints with it so far, and I haven't tried  
traditional yet (that's next on my list) but I think it's worth  
considering.  The kit at B&S is relatively cheap - I think it was $85  
for a kit that will make 25-30 8x10 prints.
